See my implementation of the Views Accordion here (left sidebar):

http://sites.fcps.org/testad/

Notice that I have scrolling on via CSS in the content area. Is it possible to swap in image icons (arrows) that cause the scrolling to happen (via a jQuery method) vs. having the scroll bar?

Do you have any suggestions for this?

Thanks in advance.

First of all, don't ever edit contributed modules' files, for these will get overwritten when you upgrade to the next version (applies to any module). I see there you are editing the module's css file. This is not needed. Just use your own style.css in your own theme for this (copy garland folder to /sites/all/themes if that's what you plan on using). Your theme's css styling will override any module's styling, including this one :) You can also switch off the module's css file in the options of your view if you'd like.

About the jQuery scrollbars, this is not a feature that the module provides, jQuery scrollbars would mean another plugin. Fortunately, the community already has a module that implements this plug-in, you can find it here:
http://drupal.org/project/jscrollpane

Thanks! Yes, don't worry - I will make my final CSS changes to the main theme style.css (or the like). I'm aware that it's not best practice to make changes to a contrib module core file. I understand that. This was purely in a "testing" sandbox environment.

Thanks for the scroll module suggestion. I'll take a look at that.

Looks like there are some problems with that Drupal jscrollpane module. See this post:

http://drupal.org/node/227168

Have these issues been addressed by the module developer?

I don't know backdrifting, i think you should ask in there ;)

I remember using that module a while back, not sure what the status is now with it. It's a simple module, all it does is give a function to include the plugin on your site so that you can then create your js file that creates the scroll bars using it. I suggest you read the plugin's documentation as well.

Put this in your style.css

.accordion-content {
height: 400px;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
